Aponeurose in the psychology context is not a psychological term per se, but a musculoskeletal structure with important implications in somatic psychology, body-oriented therapy, and trauma healing. It refers to a flat, sheet-like fibrous tissue that connects muscles to the structures they move—essentially, a strong connective tissue similar to a tendon.
Though anatomical in nature, aponeuroses are significant in psychosomatic approaches that recognize the body as an active participant in emotional and psychological processes.
