What is the difference between Cognitive and Somatic anxiety?

Cognitive anxiety is basically the psychological (mental) side of anxiety, it acts on the brain, and has symptoms such as; poor concentration, confusion, negative images and fear, whereas Somatic anxiety is the physical side of it, and acts upon the body, with symptoms such as; 'butterflies' in the stomach, tense muscles, sweating and nausea. Cognitive state anxiety is moment-to-moment changes in worry and negative thoughts, and Somatic state anxiety is moment-to-moment changes in perceived physiological arousal (arousal being a negative blend of physiological and psychological emotions).

Somatic anxiety refers to the 'perception' of phsyiological arousal, i.e. do you view butterflies in your stomach and increased heart rate when playing sport as positive or negative? Phsyiological arousal does not include 'perception/interpretation' of the feelings. it is purely the butterflies in stomach, sweaty palms, or increased HR.
