Spatial desorientation (vertigo)

Hi,

On a recent chat with friends a question popped up.
It is well known that the life expectancy of a untrained VFR pilot in IMC conditions, is rather short.
My question; do IFR rated pilots with, let's say, a couple of thousand of hours under the belt still get that "sinking" feeling and have to force themselfs to trust the T? Does the desorientation feeling go away with time/experience?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
