I think there is some value if what happened to you still impacts your life. For example ‘mother issues’ left me vulnerable to over-attachment and exploitation by mother-types. The awareness of my vulnerabilities gave me insights into the types of people and situations I need to avoid.
Logic and some introspection would have accomplished similar results.
