Quotes 

• Jill Tyler : [Catherine is in a session of Holding Therapy. Now Jill has Catherine laying on her lap holding her and Rob and Dr. Myers are holding her]  Come one, come on scream. How are you feeling, Cat?

  Catherine : Mad!

  Jill Tyler : You're mad? What are you mad at?

  Catherine : You!

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Louder.

  Jill Tyler : Louder, Cat. Right at me. Right at me.

  Catherine : I hate you! I hate you! I'm going to kill you!

  Jill Tyler : Say why. Why do you want to kill us, Cat?

  Catherine : I don't know!

  Jill Tyler : Come on, say why, Cat.

  Catherine : I don't know, I don't know!

  Jill Tyler : Come on, Cat. Let it out.

  Catherine : I'm gonna choke you to death like the baby birds! And Daddy I'm gonna stab you with a knife! With a knife!

  Jill Tyler : Say why, Cat. Why do you wanna kill us?

  Catherine : [At the top of her lungs]  You're hurting me!

  Rob Tyler : [Rob looks at Catherine with frightened eyes. Dr. Myers nods her head at Jill to release Catherine. The session is over. Catherine puts her arms around Jill, and sobs for breath] 

  [to Jill] 

  Rob Tyler : I think this takes about as much out of us as it does out of her.

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : [laughs a little]  I wish there was an easier way.

  Jill Tyler : [to Catherine]  You ready to go?

  [Catherine nods her head. Jill kisses her on the head and stands up and carries Catherine] 

  Jill Tyler : Oh my goodness, you're so big.

• Dr. Rosemary Myers : [to Catherine]  It's okay to hurt. It's okay to be mad. Look at me, Cat.

  [Catherine looks at her] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Now know this. Your birthdad hurt Baby Cat.

  [Looks to Rob] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : But this is your daddy and he loves you very much.

  [Catherine glances at Rob and looks back at Dr. Myers] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Your birthdad hurt Baby Cat and that's why she wants to hurt other people.

  Catherine : Kill them.

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Yeah, kill them. Do you know why?

  [Catherine shakes her head 'no'] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Do you want other people to hurt like you hurt?

  Catherine : [Nods her head]  And be dead.

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Your birthdad hurt Baby Cat. That's why she wants to hurt and kill. But Cat isn't a baby. Not anymore. She's a big, strong, beautiful girl.

  [Gently strokes Catherine's pretty brown hair] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Big strong, beautiful Catherine can tell Baby Cat to stop. Big Catherine can control Baby Cat. And when she does do you know something? That's when the hurting will start to go away.

  [Jill holds back tears, and Rob has a few tears falling from his eyes] 

  Dr. Rosemary Myers : Have faith.
