The reason why you go to a therapist, especially if you experienced childhood trauma is not about PTSD, but learning about the coping mechanisms you developed that you may not be aware of, coping mechanisms that may not be healthy for you, might even cause you to have low self esteem and fall into being abused again in some way. A lot of children that suffered abuse/trauma can develop a victim mentality that they are not aware of as an adult. If you discuss your past with a T, you can learn about how you dealt with all that in ways that you need to actually finally see and learn healthier ways to deal with challenges. The "anxiety" you are talking about is coming from something, if you find out what that is, learn how to fix it, you can actually learn how to avoid suffering from anxiety, that can get worse as you go through your life.
