Showing Appreciation Lyrics

Showing appreciation

It is important to show people

That you appreciate

What they have to say

This is especially true in finance

This is part of validating

Or v-a-l-i-d-a-t-i-n-g

Some examples would be as follows

Quote, thank you for bringing this up, end quote

Quote, it's helpful for me to note this (???), end quote

Quote, I appreciate your thoughts about this

Showing appreciation

Again is part of validating

And validating is important

As part of a strengths-based focus

In a deficits-based focus

Clients' problems are focused on

Perhaps to the detriment

Of the client's strengths

In a strengths-based focus

The client's strengths are built upon

Wherever, whenever possible

Very commonly, the clients from (???) practice

Have been treated poorly and disrespected

Validating them

Through showing appreciation

Helps to combat their negative experiences

And negative self-perceptions

And also shows basic respect

For them as human beings

Which they are entitled to

No matter their behaviors

According to human services' value system

Clients may not appreciate

Workers' efforts

To help them

Nor do they have to

But they should be leary about

How they get their own needs

And validation met

This is not the purpose

Of a helping relationship

Nor should it be the purpose

Human services is about

Trying (unintelligible)

In times (unintelligible)

When workers try (unintelligible)

(With very little validation showing for their efforts???)

Regardless of (unintelligible)
