I was once kidnapped for about three hours about 20 years ago. Anxiety and recurring nightmares went away only about 3 or 4 years later.
Recently I was extorted by threathening my life and my kids' life. So far, I have not been able to overcome that, to the extreme that I left my job, sent my kids away and I feel very helpless. Although they didn't hurt anyone phisically, they stole our lives.
It seems to be quite differente when they threaten you than when they threten you kids.
