Well I guess you can say many of the major religious figures are groomers...Jesus was quite big on followers leaving their families wasn't he, 'let the little children come to me'...etc etc. I have a feeling the Pharisees would feel similarly about that rhetoric.
I guess Oprah was seeking the alienation of people from their families when she said this:" Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher"
Or "FAMILY SHOULD BE THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN BE YOUR MOST COMPLETE SELF." (Her capitals not mine! )

Clearly more grooming going on there, Oprah. Redefining family away from biological parents, and undermining the centrality of the family unit...yikes!
Of course there are many, many therapists who have used similar words to support people struggling in harmful and abusive family dynamics.
