I think there is a point, yes, but therapy may not be the only route and it might not be for everyone. IMHO when you have abuse as a child you become overwhelmed with defense mechanisms and generally stop connecting with others at the same level as a "normal" person would. Being more closed means we go inside and bury stuff which is liable to erupt later when triggered. For example, I used to be triggered into crying by certain things and it has led to public embarrassment a few times. Just imagine a shelter dog opposed to a dog raised in a home from a puppy. The shelter dog is just never quite the same.
