In the wake of recent events in the community, many schools, educators, and families are navigating how to talk to children about what has happened - and without increasing fear or distress.

We’ve shared a short, evidence-informed guide to support developmentally appropriate conversations with children after traumatic or violent events. It’s written for schools and professionals to confidently disseminate to families, and focuses on calm, honest, and emotionally containing guidance.

Children don’t need to be shielded from reality: they need support to understand it safely.

We hope this resource is helpful for educators, wellbeing teams, and families supporting children during a difficult time.

Practical guidance for schools and families on how to talk to children about traumatic events in a calm, developmentally appropriate way.

At aMAZEin’ Minds Psychology, we’re always looking for ways to deepen our clinical knowledge and strengthen the way we support children, families, and schools. Recently, our team put together a comprehensive professional resource on early literacy skills and the Big Six of Literacy to guide our own internal PD and supervision.

As we were building it, we realised it would be a little selfish not to share it more widely.

So here it is — a detailed, evidence-informed guide for educators, psychologists, and allied health professionals who want to understand the cognitive and linguistic foundations of reading, how to interpret literacy difficulties, and how the Big Six can shape assessment and intervention.

It’s one of the most in-depth literacy resources we’ve created, and we hope it supports your work as much as it supports ours.

If you’re a psychologist or educator seeking supervision or consultation in psychoeducational assessment, dyslexia, or literacy development, we’d love to connect. Our team is passionate about supporting high-quality, neuroaffirming practice across the sector.

Early literacy skills develop through the Big Six of Literacy. This professional guide explains each component for evidence-based assessment.

Some adults spend years wondering why reading, spelling, or written tasks have always felt harder than they “should.”
If this rings true for you (or someone you love), you’re definitely not alone.

We’ve just published a new article on getting a dyslexia diagnosis in adulthood — what it looks like, why it’s often missed, and how understanding your brain later in life can be genuinely empowering.

This one is written with care, humility, and deep expertise from Dr Andrea Sadusky, who completed her PhD in dyslexia assessment and knows just how nuanced adult profiles can be.

💛 Read the blog here:

How dyslexia presents in adults, what an adult dyslexia assessment involves, and how a diagnosis can support confidence and learning.

Writing this piece was a bit of a self-reminder: you don’t have to hold everything together to be strong.
Sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is let yourself rest — or let someone else carry a bit of the weight.

💛 When Everyone Relies on You: The Weight of Being the Strong One
https://www.amazeinminds.com.au/being-the-strong-one/

Feeling like you have to hold everything together? Learn how being the “strong one” takes a toll — and what helps you find balance again.

Some parents are tired. Others are bone-deep exhausted.

If you’re constantly running on empty, snapping at small things, or feeling guilty for not enjoying parenting—you might be experiencing parental burnout.

It doesn’t mean you don’t love your children. It means you’ve been giving more than you’ve been able to refill. 💛

Our latest blog explores what parental burnout really is, why it’s so common (especially for parents of neurodivergent or high-needs kids), and gentle, practical steps to help you recover your balance.

People pleasing often comes from such a good place—kindness, care, wanting to avoid conflict—but over time it can take a toll. Burnout, resentment, anxiety, even losing sight of your own needs.

We pulled together a new blog that looks at:
👉 why people pleasing develops
👉 the subtle signs you might not notice
👉 gentle strategies to start creating boundaries

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no, then this one might resonate:

Confession time: it’s been over two weeks since our last blog post. We’d love to say it was all part of a plan… but the truth is, we procrastinated a little. 😉

We’re seeing more people using ChatGPT for mental health support. It’s easy, available 24/7, and can feel like a safe space to “talk.”

But AI isn’t therapy. Psychologists bring real empathy, understanding, and personalised care that technology just can’t match.

We wrote a short blog looking at why people are turning to ChatGPT, what it can (and can’t) offer, and why psychologists are still so important.

Do you know the signs of gaslighting in relationships?
They often sound like everyday comments, but repeated over time, they chip away at your confidence and self-trust.

Here are some common ones:

❌ “That never happened.”
😶 “You’re imagining things.”
🙄 “You’re too sensitive.”
🔄 “You’re overreacting.”
👉 “It’s your fault.”

Gaslighting is more than just a disagreement — it’s a repeated pattern of emotional manipulation. Recognising the signs is the first step towards recovery.

Many autistic adults are living with significant anxiety that’s hidden behind years of masking. Outwardly they may seem calm and capable, but internally they’re navigating constant self-monitoring, sensory strain, and the pressure to “pass” in environments not built for them.

We’ve written a new blog to help explain this experience, why it’s often overlooked, and what can help — for both the person masking as well as the people around them.

Read here: https://www.amazeinminds.com.au/anxiety-masking-autism/

Anxiety and masking often go hand-in-hand for autistic adults. Learn why it happens, how it feels, and what helps.

😩😰We talk about anxiety a lot — but do we always know what it actually is?

In our latest blog, we unpack some of the confusion around “anxiety symptoms”. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot, but not everything uncomfortable is anxiety — and not all anxiety looks the way you'd expect.

📢This one’s especially for adults who seem to “function fine” but are quietly exhausted underneath it all!

We hope it helps make things a little clearer ...and a little less lonely! 🩷

Anxiety symptoms aren’t just stress or worry. Learn what clinical anxiety really looks like as we debunk the most common myths.
