SELF DOSP Safe Environment Program Office Training for EMHC/PCP Training Rev 11-6-2013

Emotional Grooming When someone manipulates another’s emotions to skillfully gain control of that person. Emotional grooming is used to seduce, coerce, or “con” others into doing something that they would not ordinarily do, including sexual activity. DOSP Safe Environment Program Office Training for EMHC/PCP Training Rev 11-6-2013

Key Elements of the Emotional Grooming Process False sense of trust—a groomer convinces the victim that s/he is the only person in the world to trust. Secrecy—groomers persuade their victims to keep “our little secret” hidden from others. DOSP Safe Environment Program Office Training for EMHC/PCP Training Rev 11-6-2013

Control The ultimate goal of an emotional groomer is to gain control of the target and of the relationship.

Language Cons Words and phrases – or “lines” – that groomers use to trick and manipulate their targets. Sometimes lines make a target feel special or desired; other times they make a target feel guilty or threatened. Lines may seem genuine or sincere at first, but their real purpose is to control the target. Language cons are used to convince targets to do things they normally would not do.

Rite 2: LITURGY OF HOLY COMMUNION (Cont.) Communion (Revised 2012) The minister shows the Eucharistic bread [or wine] to those present, saying: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. The sick person and all who are to receive Communion say: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. The minister goes to the sick person and gives them Communion. Others present who wish to receive Communion then do so in the usual way.
