My 10 year old daughter suffers from morning nausea and stomach cramps. We discussed it recently and I suggested that it may be psychosomatic. She asked what that word meant (her first language is Hebrew) and I said: First in the mind, then in the body. She pondered for a while and said: Dad, it's totally psychosomatic! That brought to mind an event, over 30 years ago, when my teacher was trying, valiantly, to get us feeling each others energy skins. A sceptical student suggested that it may be psychosomatic to which my teacher retorted, with some vehemence: Everything is psychosomatic!
