Digging Deeper: Conversations With the Parts of Ourselves We Rarely Name
You keep saying yes when you want to say no. Someone else’s good news brings up envy. A relationship continues, but something about it has changed.
Digging Deeper offers language for experiences like these, along with questions that help you consider what has shaped them and why they matter.
Created by social worker, psychotherapist, and educator Rahim Thawer, the deck brings together six collections:
Feelings: Explore emotional experiences such as resentment, shame, guilt, and regret.
Longings: Consider what you want or need, including connection, recognition, safety, freedom, and rest.
Defenses: Examine familiar ways of protecting yourself, including how they help and what they may cost.
Inner Worlds: Reflect on experiences that shape how you see yourself, other people, and your life.
Relational Forces: Explore boundaries, trust, power, care, conflict, repair, and accountability.
Inquiry: Return to five questions about what you may be avoiding, protecting, grieving, or reconsidering.
The cards combine everyday examples, thoughtful explanations, reflection questions, and additional perspectives. Throughout the deck, personal experiences are considered alongside family expectations, cultural messages, social conditions, and differences in power.
