When you learn to use the Detour Method you can: Stop saying words you will regret later. Stop making hasty, painful and costly relationship decisions. Stop prematurely ending relationships. Start minimizing the stress and tension in your body The Detour Method is so valuable because the skills transfer from home to work and vice versa.
