Kate Beckett : No, you don't understand. I need to be okay.
Dr. Carter Burke : That's not always a choice, Kate. What you're describing, hypervigilance, it's a classic symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kate Beckett : I don't have PTSD.
Dr. Carter Burke : You were shot, by a sniper. I think it's fair to say this case is going to bring up issues. Issues you still haven't dealt with.
Kate Beckett : Okay, then fine, I'll deal with them. Right now, I need to figure out how to make this stop.
Dr. Carter Burke : It's not going to stop. Not without time and treatment. The psychological trauma is every bit as real as the physical trauma.

Dr. Carter Burke : Well, for one, I think you should consider stepping away from the case.
Kate Beckett : You don't think I can handle this?
Dr. Carter Burke : I'm saying, you don't have to. You're not the only cop in the city, Kate.

[last lines]
Dr. Carter Burke : The only person you can let down is yourself... Her death is a part of you. And you're gonna have to make peace with that, just like you're gonna have to make peace with the scars from your shooting... But it doesn't have to limit you.
Kate Beckett : How am I supposed to let go?
Dr. Carter Burke : I can help you. But the question is, are you ready.
Kate Beckett : [ponders for a bit] Yeah, I think I am.
