I desensed on my own and became able to use urinals as long as there was nobody I know around but then got a bit stuck After 11 years I finally told my wife about it and finally plucked up the courage to ask her to help me desense. At home I would use the loo when she was in another room and then gradually got closer and closer until I could do it with her standing next to me. So my tip is to get yourself a pee buddy. If you have an understanding wife then use her or seek another pauretic to help you. My other tip is to go into a toilet when you don't want to go and stay there as long as you can. You will find that the anxiety will pass and it helps teach your brain that nobody is really paying any attention to whether you can go or not except you.
