Abstract

This article discusses bodily aspects of emotional crises and crises of interpersonal ties. The analysis is based on the sociological theory of emotions by Thomas J. Scheff and Suzanne Retzinger, who emphasized the importance of interpersonal ties for the resolution of conflicts and for successful coping with difficulties. Every emotion has its own motor equivalent in the body, which records and stores traumatic experiences and broadly understood conflicts together with the resulting stress. If the accumulated emotions are not released, the body may get sick, which is why psychological interventions must be combined with parallel work on the body. Case studies, which constitute an important part of the author’s research, show the significance and effectiveness of choreotherapy, which, in combination with other treatment methods, helps to resolve crises and reduce emotional strain.
