In the midst of career and child rearing, and having lost her father at a young age, Dr. Corse became her mother’s primary caregiver through to her death from cancer. It is a story of healing, as the often-strained relationship between Dr. Corse and her mother is transformed as they negotiate this life passage.

Dr. Corse presents seminars and workshops at various organizations on healthy relationships, parenting, trauma, loss and grief, anxiety and depression.
