This research designed and developed a Sufistic counseling program to improve psychological flexibility through neuroscience-based nature tadabbur in metropolitan city students. This study used the design-based research (DBR) method using four steps, namely needs analysis, design planning, development, and reflection on the results of use. In the needs analysis stage, the psychological flexibility instrument was distributed to 168 students, and then at the product development stage, it was validated by three expert validators. Data collection was carried out through the results of interviews, observations, literature studies, and documentation. The results of the study showed that the development of the Sufistic counseling program was in the very adequate category in developing students' psychological flexibility because this program integrated the concepts of Sufistic counseling and neuroscience involving elements of the medial prefrontal cortex, the limbic system, the hormones dopamine and oxytocin, amygdala, neuroplasticity, visual cortex, as well as theta and alpha brain waves. This Sufistic counseling program could be an alternative that makes it easier for university counselors or academic advisors to develop students' psychological flexibility through neuroscience-based nature tadabbur. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
