Most of us experience, to some degree, a somatization response/reaction. Some common examples include tension headaches, nervousness/upset stomach from having to speak in public, sweaty palms on a first date. I think the concept of "disorder" comes from the degree of somatizing and/or lack of awareness of psychological triggers.
Sadly, this is often cursed w/a concept of "blaming the vicitm."
