Actually religion gave me a thought... for exploring issues in a non-directed/self-empowered way, I'd suggest the Osho Zen Tarot (no relation)
http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=magazine&Sub1Menu=tarot&Sub2Menu=oshozentarotIf it catches her bent, it has a way of prodding a person into accepting internal truths about how they view a situation. Here's an excerpt from a sample card on their site to give a sense of its insidiousness:
Now you can do and act on only that which makes you more joyous, fulfills you, gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty. But this is possible only if the master in you is awake. Right now the master is fast asleep. And the mind, the servant, is playing the role of master. And the servant is created by the outside world, it follows the outside world and its laws.
For one of you reading this, you know exactly what it means and better take it to heart.
Actually, it is also an interesting dialog starting tool.
