Beta blockers have for a long time been used to help stop performance anxiety and the like, what this is doing is more or less helping to block the anxiety experienced in PTSD when you something triggers that bad memory. It wouldn't actually "block" out the memory as the article seems to imply, rather just kill some of the anxiety from flashbacks, or the memory in general.
