Hi Tayla...

the word "somatic" when used by itself means "of the body" and nothing more....

"psychosomatic" means the mind is connected to the body.... meaning in layman's terms that the mind put some symptom or illness in the body...

the two words are Not interchangeable.....

Perhaps the above link helps clarify the meaning of the word somatic ...

be well all,
