A 2 year update from me: After I finished treatment with Dr. Zhou, I slept better for about six months or so. If you look at when I posted, it was just before COVID started here in the states. I ended up losing my job and it completely threw me for a loop. I was doing everything wrong again and I was pretty ashamed. It took until this past summer for me to work up the courage to reach out to him again..I thought he would tell me I was a terrible patient etc. But it was the opposite! He totally gets it and sees so many people that were just like me. He even said that he has had more patients who have relapsed this past year than ever before, probably because COVID has been so hard. I felt a million times better and I can say that I am back to sleeping like a dream!! So keep up the hope, don’t be embarassed to admit struggling to your doctors. Its their job to help.
I can’t believe I came across this post…I was a patient of Dr. Eric Zhou as well! My experience was eerily similar to the first poster. The only thing I would add to their experience is that I do well with humor and he was super good about being able to make fun of a situation when my bad thoughts about not sleeping enough would come up in our sessions. It made me feel less stupid about having those thoughts and that helped me a lot. I went to a woman out in Lexington before I found Dr. Zhou. She was a complete joke and I can’t believe I spent almost 2 months with her. So have faith if you’re struggling. Not all doctors are made the same and do not hesitate to cut the cord with someone you don’t work well with.
