Starting over???

I started the Combatting Stress and Depression Program program in August 2007 and got 7 or 8 weeks into the program. My life at that time had improved greatly, but then I got busy. It became harder and harder for me to complete the homework/videos each week and I got further and further behind. I've been wanting to get back on the program when I was called recently by Stress Center about getting a personal coach.
The woman I spoke with irked me a little because she was a bit pushy and wanted me to sign up for it even though the cost is beyond my budget right now. However, having talked with her made me realize I really owe it to myself to complete the program.

My question is, do I need to start completely over with week one, or do I begin where I left off? I haven't done any of the workbook/tapes since October 2007.

Whats the recomendation for a person like me?

good for you--you got beyond the irksome to see what was good for you. i am glad you're looking to recommit to the program.

i think it would be helpful to you to start at week 3 at least. that's a pivotal lesson--and the materials (that I got a few yrs. ago) even say it's alright--for many folks--to start at 3.

I recommend that you start from tape one. The mind forgets about 80% of what it reads when read only once. It will be to your benefit to start from tape one.

I agree with boon, I think you should start from the beginning because i'm sure you don't remember all of the tips that were given in the lessons from 6 months ago.
