Well done for seeking help, and being so honest and brave in the assessment. It sounds like a really positive outcome, as you will have some time to think about whether you are ready for therapy and don't need to worry about seeing a new person for therapy.
Nobody except you and the therapist will know that you have opened up about the past; you are safe now. You weren't safe back then, but you are now and you deserve to speak about it and be free.
Complex PTSD is not anything in itself to worry about - it just describes the fact that your symptoms have lasted a long time. It doesn't mean you can't recover, but it shows that you have been through many traumas and that this has impacted on your health and wellbeing.
