When we think of traumatic events like house fires or burning car crashes, the victims are not the only ones exposed to horrific images or pain.

First responders are challenged emotionally, physically, intellectually, and new research suggests many of them may be suffering from PTSD.

Sarah Grace is a holistic healer based out of Folsom that worked as a medic for 15 years; her book "Journey Into Grace: Tales of a Psychic Paramedic" chronicles those experiences.

She’s starting a PTSD support group for first responders at the Sacramento Food Co-Op this week and joins Insight to discuss.
