Make Up Your Mind / Catch Me I'm Falling


(spoken)
DR. MADDEN
Diana it's been 2 weeks and we've yet to break through to the roots of your depression.
I'd like to try something new today.
Sometimes when these stories are hard to tell hypnosis can be helpful.

DIANA
I don't think I could be hypnotized, I mean it's fine, I'm just not the type.

DR. MADDEN
Put your feet on the floor. And your hands in your lap. Now breathe.

(sung)
Walk with me
Walk with me

DIANA (spoken)
Ok walking

DR. MADDEN
Go all the way the down
Down a long flight of stairs

DIANA (spoken)
Stairs?

DR.MADDEN
Go step by step into the darkness down there

DIANA (spoken)
Should we turn on a light? You know, with the stairs.

DR. MADDEN
Walk with me, down a hall
A hall with blue light
At the end of there's a door
It's a door that you've never laid eyes on before
Open the door
Open the door

(spoken)
Can you hear me Diana?

DIANA
Yes.

DR. MADDEN
Are you nervous?

DIANA
No

DR. MADDEN
Good. Now.

(sung)
Make up your mind to explore yourself
Make up your mind you have stories to tell
We'll search in your past
For what sorrows may last
Then make up your mind to be well

(spoken)
DAN
Di, you come home form these sessions in tears. Is this helping? Di? Di?

DIANA
We were both undergrads, architecture.
The baby wasn't planned, neither was the marriage.
I had always expected to be too busy but when the baby
came it all seemed to make sense until...until...

DR. MADDEN
Until?

(sung)
DAN
He's not here, he's not here
Love I know you know

DR. MADDEN
Make up your mind to live stronger now
Make up your mind let the truth be revealed
Admit what you've lost and live with the cost
At times it does hurt to be healed

GABE
Catch me I'm falling

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
If you tell me the story you own it.

GABE
Catch me I'm falling

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
If you don't, if you keep it hidden.

GABE
Faster than anyone should

GABE and DIANA
Catch me I'm falling

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
It owns you.

GABE and DIANA
Please hear me calling

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
What's your story Diana?

GABE and DIANA
Catch me I'm falling for good

(spoken)
HENRY
Hey, I'm not supposed to be backstage, but for luck.

NATALIE
Did you see my parents out there?

HENRY
Are you ok?

NATALIE
I'm fine. My dad said they'd both be here.

HENRY
Then I'm sure they will be.

NATALIE
Right.

DIANA
We had Natalie too...and I know she knows.
I couldn't hold her in the hospital.

NATALIE
Where the hell are they?

DIANA
I couldn't let myself hold her.

DR. MADDEN
That's the first time you've mentioned Natalie in weeks of therapy.

NATALIE
God. Damnit!

(sung)
She's not there

NATALIE and HENRY
She's not there

NATALIE, HENRY, and DAN
She's not there

DR. MADDEN
Make up your mind you want clarity
Take what you know and then make it make sense
Just admit what you fear
And soon it comes clear
The visions are just your defense

GABE and NATALIE
Catch me I'm falling

HENRY (spoken)
Nat?

GABE and NATALIE
Catch me I'm falling

HENRY (spoken)
Are you gonna be ok?

GABE and NATALIE
Losing myself in the air.

GABE, NATALIE and DIANA
Catch me I'm falling

HENRY (spoken)
Dude.

GABE, DIANA and NATALIE
Don't leave me crawling
Catch me and show me you care

NATALIE (spoken)
Um, thank you for coming. This is & Invention in C&

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
Let's try to understand what all this is doing to you, and your family.

NATALIE (spoken)
Fuck.

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
Your grief for your son, your distance from Natalie.

NATALIE (spoken)
I'm sorry, I just um, the thing is I'you know what the problem with classical is,
it's so rigid,
structured, you have to play the notes on the page,
there's no room for improvisation.

HENRY (spoken)
Oh no.

(overlapping)
DIANA
Catch me I'm falling
Falling
I'm falling.

(overlapping)
DR. MADDEN
Make up your mind to be free at last
Make up your mind to be truly alive
Embrace what's inside the place that has died
And make up your mind to survive


(overlapping)
ALL
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
Flying head first into fate
Catch me I'm falling
Please hear me calling
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling.

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
Unresolved loss can lead to depression and a fear of loss to anxiety.
The more you hold to something you've lost the more you fear losing it.
Depression, anxiety, depression, anxiety, one leads to the next, then the other, it's a vicious cycle.

Wouldn't you like to be free from all that finally?
Wouldn't you like to go home clear out his room, maybe
spend some time with your daughter, and let your son go at last?

HENRY (spoken)
Should we go?

DIANA and NATALIE (spoken)
Yes.

GABE (spoken)
Mom?

DIANA (spoken)
Yes I would.
