In addition to recording their experience of a guided meditation session, individuals may also document the occurrence of involuntary unwanted or intrusive negative imagery over time, which is a common occurrence among those with conditions including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety. They may also document positive imagery intentionally generated when practicing alone the techniques initially learned from the practitioner or teacher. Over time, this documentation can provide information and insight into the participant's physical and mental condition, contributing to the formulation of a therapeutic treatment plan.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]
