In this segment of “Life Quakes,” host Patricia Wu hears from a recent graduate struggling with the weight of post-college life. He feels paralyzed by anxiety about finding a job, paying off student loans, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Our guest psychotherapist, Deanna Dellia, offers practical strategies for managing the post-grad blues.

Therapy can help

Try new things
Volunteering, taking a class, or stepping out of your comfort zone can open unexpected doors and reveal where your passions lie.
