The South Shield — The Body After Service

Long after the mission ends, the body stays on alert.

This episode explores the South Shield—action, anger, and physical energy—and why many veterans live in a constant state of readiness. You’ll learn why the body doesn’t calm down through thinking, how unspent energy turns into exhaustion or conflict, and what regulated strength actually looks like after service.
