Definition
Relating to the body as distinct from the mind, or referring to the physical symptoms of psychological conditions.
Etymology
From Greek 'somatikos', meaning 'of the body', derived from 'soma' (body). The word entered English through medical Latin in the 18th century, initially used in anatomy and later expanding to psychology and other fields.
Kelly Says
The word 'somatic' beautifully captures the ancient Greek understanding that the body and mind are distinct yet interconnected - somatic symptoms can be physically real even when psychologically triggered. Modern somatic therapy recognizes that trauma and emotions are literally held in the body, not just the mind.
