I think a GP (or other professional) would appreciate your boundaries and not probe further. They won't want to trigger you or make things any harder. I don't think they actually need to know the nature of the trauma in order to refer you on to appropriate services either; knowing you had a hard upbringing and suffer from PTSD symptoms will likely be enough information to go on.
Please don't feel hopeless though. If meds haven't worked in the past it could just be you haven't found the right ones, or that a combination may be needed. You've also never had therapy around the issues from the past, but also you may just never have clicked enough with a therapist. So much of therapy is about the relationship and trust in your therapist, more so than the type of therapy. So there is always hope, even when it doesn't feel like it.
