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, which involves physical symptoms such as increased heart rate or sweating, can negatively affect performance by distracting individuals and impairing their focus. It may also lead to a decrease in fine motor control and coordination, impacting skills requiring precision. Managing somatic anxiety through relaxation techniques or mindfulness strategies can help mitigate its effects on performance.
A somatic reaction is a physical response that occurs in the body as a result of psychological or emotional stimuli. It can manifest as symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, or muscle tension in response to stress or anxiety. Somatic reactions are linked to the body's fight or flight response to perceived threats.
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.
Somatic amplification refers to the process by which physical symptoms are experienced more intensely or are amplified due to psychological factors, such as stress or anxiety. These symptoms can be real and may have a physical basis, but the perception and experience of them are heightened by psychological influences.

Anxiety is a psychological and physiological state characterized by somatic, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components.[2] The root meaning of the word anxiety is 'to vex or trouble'; in either presence or absence of psychological stress, anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness and dread.[3] Anxiety is considered to be a normal reaction to a stressor. It may help someone to deal with a difficult situation by prompting them to cope with it. When anxiety becomes excessive, it may fall under the classification of an anxiety disorder.[
