They go on sale at Costco all the time, and I actually gave these out when I ran out of candy. It was just as cost effective as candy and is a tasty treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671c13b18c9e852b58e0b2c6/310152a2-ca25-418b-86a7-23a339b0b4f6/2.png Blog - My favourite alternatives to give out on Halloween - Toys Example: Mini bubble wands Having a child, you don’t want them all hopped up on candy (even though it is inevitable). I had bought these for a birthday party, and gave them out during Halloween to small children. They find so much joy out of bubbles and I thought it was a fun Halloween alternative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671c13b18c9e852b58e0b2c6/84d805e4-3951-4014-928f-d7f5df439930/3.png Blog - My favourite alternatives to give out on Halloween - Water I know its not the most fun treat to receive, but for those that want it, they will definitely appreciate it! Water is a cost-effective option to give out. And these kids are running around for hours getting tired, and will want to hydrate! I am sure the parents will thank you too! https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-remembrance-day monthly 0.5 2025-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671c13b18c9e852b58e0b2c6/84608e35-ab1e-4458-903b-a82e76b993ee/Untitled.png Blog - Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day - Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is observed on October 15th. It is a day dedicated to remembering and honouring babies lost during pregnancy and infancy. The loss of a child is profound at any stage and yet, it is something many people find difficult to talk about. People often carry shame and guilt around the loss which only festers in silence. We need families, communities and healthcare professionals to come together to break the silence surrounding misscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death. In Canada, 15-25% of all pregnancies end in misscarriage. There are 9 stillbirths per 1,000 births per year and 4 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. In spite of how common these significant losses are, they remain undiscussed. Expectant mothers are often instructed to wait until they are 12 weeks pregnant, when the chances of misscarriage significantly decreases, to share the happy news. It is only after the first trimester passes, when they have reached a supposed safe zone that they are encouraged to celebrate. But the message behind this seems to be that, if you don’t share your happy news until you’re out of the woods, you won’t have to share your bad news if you experience a loss. We are removing women who never reach the second trimester from the conversation and suggesting that their pregnancy only matters if it’s viable. Death is hard for people to talk about but families who have experienced stillbirth or lost a child in infancy need others to push through their own discomfort to recognize and make space for their pain. By raising awareness, we can begin to normalize conversations around pregnancy and baby loss and encourage families to talk about their grief. We encourage everyone to join The Global Wave of Light. On October 15, at 7:00pm, please light a candle in remembrance of all the babies, gone too soon. This can be done alone, with a group, at home, or in a church. Know that wherever you light a candle, you will be joining a global “wave of light” as candles will be lit at 7:00pm local time around the world. We stand with bereaved families today and every day forward. https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/healing-the-ripples-intergenerational-trauma-in-canada monthly 0.5 2025-09-28 https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/mental-load monthly 0.5 2025-09-17 https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/blog-post-title-three-eft monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/blog-post-title-two-act monthly 0.5 2025-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671c13b18c9e852b58e0b2c6/857e0114-ac0f-468a-a53b-aa59641a7f15/statera-228.jpg Blog - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): A Gentle Introduction - How is ACT Different from Traditional Therapy? Traditional therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) often focus on identifying and challenging negative thoughts to change how you feel. ACT, on the other hand, doesn’t try to argue with your thoughts—it teaches you to accept them as passing mental events that don’t have to control your behaviour. Here’s a quick comparison: CBT: “Let’s challenge the thought ‘I’m a failure’ and replace it with something more balanced.” ACT: “Notice the thought ‘I’m a failure’—can you allow it to be there without letting it stop you from doing what matters?” Rather than changing the content of your thoughts, ACT helps you shift your relationship to them. It recognizes that pain and worry are part of life and focuses on helping you move forward anyway, guided by your values. Where traditional therapy often aims for symptom reduction, ACT emphasizes living well even with discomfort. Ironically, the more you accept your feelings instead of fighting them, the less power they tend to have. ACT isn’t necessarily “better” than CBT—just different. Many therapists combine the two. But if you’ve ever felt stuck trying to fix your thoughts, ACT offers another path: stop the tug-of-war with your mind and start living a life that feels meaningful. https://www.stateraclinic.com/blog-all-posts/blog-post-title-one-mbct monthly 0.5 2025-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671c13b18c9e852b58e0b2c6/17432994-b0a6-48b4-8009-06aaa9b28d6b/statera-97.jpg Blog - Understanding Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) - At Statera Therapy, we believe in the power of using evidence-based approaches to support emotional well-being. One such approach is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) — a gentle, yet effective practice that blends the wisdom of mindfulness with the structure of cognitive therapy. What Is MBCT? Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an integrative psychotherapy that brings together two powerful tools: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – a structured approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness practices – such as meditation, breathwork, and body scans, which encourage present-moment awareness and acceptance. Originally developed to prevent relapse in individuals with recurrent depression, MBCT has since shown benefits for anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation. Why Do Therapists Use MBCT? MBCT helps reduce the cycle of negative thinking that can lead to low mood or anxious spirals. Instead of trying to "fix" or suppress thoughts, MBCT teaches individuals to observe their thoughts non-judgmentally and create space between themselves and their mental experiences.
