emerging field. The reading provides some of the historical background
and movements that contributed to the development of somatic psychology.

Cartesian assumptions that have portioned the body from the mind. We’ll
begin to look at consciousness through the lens of embodiment and be
introduced to general philosophies of mind-body integration.
