Can Adults be Groomed? Adult grooming is a form of emotional abuse and coercive control. Learn the signs of adult grooming, how manipulation works, and why adults miss it.

Adult grooming is a psychological process where abusers gain trust, create dependency, and manipulate others—often in romantic, spiritual, or professional settings. This video breaks down exactly how grooming works in adults, why it’s so hard to spot, and what to do if you realize you’ve been groomed.

Whether you’re recovering from a narcissistic relationship, a high-control group, or a toxic mentor dynamic, this video will help you connect the dots and reclaim your clarity.
