iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

The period after graduation can be really difficult, filled with emotions like grief, anxiety, worry about the future, loneliness and nostalgia as we leave the structure and comfort of college and university for the big, confusing real world. In today's episode we break down the psychology of the post-graduation blues, including: 

  • What defines this experience
  • How long does it last? 
  • The loss of friends as well as security and stability 
  • What triggers our unease
  • How we can embrace the fear and uncertainty 
  • Setting realistic goals for our first year post graduation 

This and so much more, all with some amazing advice and wisdom from our guest, the therapist Liz Kelly, author of the book 'This Book Is Cheaper Than Therapy'. Listen now!
