Hi David
If you are using a range of toilets in your day-to-day life, that are at the level you want to be at, then you don’t need to do any desensing. Your daily life is positively reinforcing your ability to go in those situations. The trick is to move mentally from seeing going to the toilet as an event, to seeing it as something routine, unremarkable, and eventually forgettable.
If you are going at a certain level, but you want to be able to go at a more challenging level, then you use desensing to practice that e.g take the case of someone who is comfortable in public toilets so long as the urinals both sides are free; and say because of the life he leads he needs to be comfortable when one of the next door urinals is being used, then he can plan a dense sessions to target that.
Does that answer your question?
