Abstract: Retirement is often a challenging phase for individuals, especially for military personnel who have long been accustomed to certain structures, routines and responsibilities. Retirement anxiety can arise due to uncertainty related to self-identity, changes in social status, and concerns about economic stability and health. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of gratitude training and emotion regulation training to reduce the level of anxiety facing retirement in Navy soldiers at Balurjatim. This study used a true experimental method pretest-postest with control group design. The selection of participants involved in this study has been selected through predetermined criteria so as to get 31 participants who are equal and meet the research criteria. Participants were divided into each group randomly, to be grouped into 10 participants in the gratitude training group, 10 participants in the emotion regulation training group and 11 participants in the control group (without treatment). The intervention was carried out in 6 sessions in two meetings and monitoring was also carried out on participants after the intervention was completed. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the gratitude training group and the emotion regulation training group in reducing anxiety facing retirement p=0.596 (p-value>0.05).
