Abstract

The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has increasingly emerged among adolescents along with the high intensity of social media use, leading to anxiety, self-dissatisfaction, and excessive behavioral tendencies. This condition highlights the importance of counseling interventions that not only focus on cognitive aspects but also integrate local wisdom values. This study aims to theoretically examine the effectiveness of group counseling using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach integrated with the philosophical values of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram, particularly the concept of the six “sa,” in reducing FOMO among adolescents. The method employed is a literature review by analyzing various relevant scientific sources, including journals, books, and previous research related to CBT, FOMO, and local wisdom values. The findings indicate that CBT helps adolescents identify and modify irrational thought patterns that trigger FOMO, while the six “sa” values contribute to developing a more balanced, moderate, and need-based life perspective. The integration of these approaches provides a more holistic framework in assisting adolescents to manage the urge to constantly follow trends. Therefore, CBT-based group counseling integrated with the philosophical values of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram has the potential to serve as an effective alternative intervention in reducing FOMO among adolescents.
