| 0:00.0 | Clyde Lee Dennis here, and today in our seven good minutes. |
| 0:03.7 | Extra segment, we're diving deeper into that profound truth. |
| 0:07.7 | The voice that criticizes you is not your enemy. |
| 0:11.0 | It is a frightened child within you that learn to speak before it learned to love. |
| 0:15.6 | This quote captures something essential about the nature of our inner critic, |
| 0:19.4 | when we understand that this harsh voice |

| 1:18.1 | if you could speak to yourself with the same patience and love you'd offer to a scared child? |
| 1:23.6 | And here's your affirmation. I choose to respond to my inner critic with compassion, |
