Trimix as a bridge to confidence

Hi all: Going in for my initial consult with my urologist today about Trimix. For those of you with psychologically-based ED (i.e., not driven by an underlying medical condition), I'm wondering if you were able to use Trimix as a kind of short-term, "fake it 'til you make it" situation.

My erections behave more or less as intended 90% of the time - I wake up hard in the mornings, get hard throughout the day in non-sexual contexts when my thoughts wander, and often have erections inconveniently when I'm wearing clothes that, uh, rub me the right way. But when it comes to penetrative/insertive sex, a lifetime of micro-traumas take over, and it's like I instantly dissociate at the moment of entry.

I'm wondering if anyone has used Trimix in the short term to get over a particular mental/emotional subroutine ... and found that the sum of positive experiences eventually allowed you to trust your erections without it. Put simply: Has Trimix allowed you to trust your body again, with sufficient reassurance that it can perform as/when needed? Or does some part of you still feel like you need the failsafe?
