Some people "taste the bitterness of love", others "make all the money of love".
Despite being subject to multiple controls, some emotional counseling agencies are still on the Internet under the banner of psychological counseling to bluff and deceive.

High-priced "emotional business"
He called himself a "emotional master" and took out some low-gold certificates to deceive consultants, claiming that he could use professional methods to "restore his predecessor", "separate the junior third," or even "help the junior third to rise to position and achieve cross-class marriage and love"... Now, Some online social platforms can see such "emotional counselors". The emotional salvation and marriage repair they promote has nothing to do with professional psychological counseling. They just use people's emotional anxiety and desire to lure money.
The reporter from Banyue Tan contacted an emotional consulting agency. Teacher Tang, who claimed to have more than ten years of consulting experience, had a telephone consultation with reporters for nearly an hour. He said from the experience of "people who came here" that the reporter’s emotional problems were solved very easily. You need to purchase a two-month love course worth 4,000 yuan, and you can quickly enjoy yourself in your romantic life.
Teacher Tang said that in the past two months, another mentor accompanied the reporter to communicate with the people he liked, making real-time advice and customizing a love growth plan.
It’s worth noting that in the exchanges with Banyue Tan reporters, Teacher Tang frequently revealed the "different" three views: "Every time you go out with a man, the man must buy you a valuable gift" "Even if you are a junior , The teacher can also help you achieve the goals you want"...
A netizen who had purchased an emotional counseling class reported that after receiving the money, they changed their account to contact her. As a result, the last two numbers disappeared, and the 7000 yuan she paid was lost.
Another netizen with a similar experience believes that “emotional counselors” should give a set of special skills for broken relationships, such as making friends in a circle of friends and forming a secondary attraction, which is actually useless.

"Emotional interest chain" without emotion
The investigation of Banyuetan reporter found that in the current emotional consulting industry, there is a gray interest chain consisting of some unqualified license-issuing entities, training institutions, individuals or platforms.
Under the guise of emotional counseling, some people take advantage of the gaps in policies and regulations to use poor information to deceive the public and disrupt the market.
——Various types of "certificates" are emerging, and the main body of the certificate is mixed.
Some "emotional counselors" active on the Internet are not undocumented. They often come up with certificates "certified" by various institutions. However, it is not easy for ordinary people to identify the validity and authenticity of these certificates.
The Banyuetan reporter learned that starting from September 2017, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has cancelled the national uniform appraisal of the national professional qualifications of psychological counselors.
Due to the unabated enthusiasm for learning psychology and psychological counseling skills from all walks of life, the School of Continuing Education of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences organized and developed the curriculum standards and assessment technical specifications for the "Psychological Counseling Basic Training" project at the end of 2017 as a transitional arrangement .
Due to the huge social demand and the corresponding norms are not perfect, the individual docking agencies of the project have chaos in enrollment and publicity: they conduct false publicity, claiming that after the national certification is cancelled, the psychological counselor certification is in charge of the psychological office and the government transfers The arrangement of functions; exaggerating the effectiveness of the "Quality Certificate for Basic Training of Psychological Counselors" issued by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At the same time, some unqualified non-docking organizations pretended to be docking organizations to carry out psychology courses-related training, certification and other activities, and fish in troubled waters in the market.
-Boasting gold content, training institutions continue to create dreams.
"Our course includes 668 hours, and the uniform price is 8,380 yuan. After you finish studying, you can obtain a qualification certificate for a psychological counselor and become a senior marriage emotional counselor, early education instructor, and psychological hypnotist." Teacher Zhang said.
The qualification certificate mentioned by Teacher Zhang refers to the "Quality Certificate of Basic Training of Psychological Counselors".
In fact, this certificate can only prove that the trainees have learned relevant knowledge. It is not a qualification certificate for psychological counseling or a qualification certificate for psychological counseling. There is a reminder in the description of the project.
But in Teacher Zhang’s description, with this certificate, one can engage in psychological counseling.
In addition to boasting about the gold content of the certificate, these training institutions also stated that they have cooperated with some online platforms. After obtaining the certificate, the trainees can start working, and the income can reach 300 yuan to 1,000 yuan per hour in the future.
——Focus on fishing for gold, harvesting leeks on platforms and individuals.
Psychological counselor Huang Bingjie told Banyuetan reporters that some platforms have very low barriers to entry, and many unqualified people can consult on them. Among them, emotional consultation is the majority, and some platforms also earn a lot of promotion fees and commission fees.
These so-called "emotional counselors" charge for people to order food and to judge the other party's economic situation through communication. The asking price ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

Keep your eyes open and see the trap clearly
Huang Bingjie said that these seemingly professional emotional counseling actually stepped on the "minefield" where many professional psychological counseling taboos, such as direct promises to help clients save their predecessors, professional psychological counseling rarely give suggestions or promises to deprive clients of thinking. Chance.
Regarding the evaluation criteria of professional psychological consultation, Huang Bingjie gave an example: “First, we can see whether the consultant’s academic background and training experience are formal. Second, we can see whether he has professional consultation settings, such as standard fees, fixed duration, and whether he is outside the consultation. Keep a distance with the visitor, sign an informed consent form, etc. Then, during the consultation process, does the visitor feel safe and can express themselves with confidence? Does the other party give a lot of advice and preaching regardless of the visitor’s feelings. Finally, do both parties have it? Discuss the consultation goals and consultation plan together, and whether there is a regular assessment of the status of the visitor."
For visitors who expect emotional counseling to restore their feelings, Lv Houchao, a professor at the Department of Psychology at Southwest University, said that a correct outlook on love should be established and the irrational elements in the relationship should not be overly magnified.
Everyone's love is unique. It varies with the individual's own experience and family situation. The so-called emotional recovery of emotional counseling cannot be generalized.
Currently, non-professional emotional counseling has brought great interference to the formal psychological counseling market.
Lv Houchao said that psychological counseling practitioners need to keep in mind professional ethics and professional ethics, the public should improve their ability to discern the qualifications of psychological counselors, and the state should also take multiple measures to further supervise relevant markets.
