High School student Megan is soft spoken. She lost her sister several years ago due to an accidental shooting at a party. Since her sister's death, Megan feels as if she lost "half of herself" along with losing her sense of ambition. She tries to prevent thinking about losing her sister, but continues to havedifficulty sleeping. She describes experiencing physical pain and describes having a lack of desire to go out with friends.

How might contemplative methods be particularly useful to Megan? How would a therapist with a contemplative approach conceptualize Megan's situation? What are some applicable interventions or skills you would use during the process of clinical assessment and treatment with this case? What are at least 3 empirically supported applications of mindfulness in thinking about Megan's case? Please use examples to demonstrate further.
