No it's not.
When we take cold showers our bodies automatically react. Your autonomic nervous system causes blood that would normally be in our internal organs to rush to the skin causing you to feel warmer. That's why when you get out you may sometimes have a pinkish look to your skin.
This is very good for you though. That extra blood flow helps with circulation, strengthens your nervous system and momentarily raises you blood pressure causing it to be lower in you normal setting.
The autonomic nervous system gets it's name from the fact that it is automatic and we can't control it. So this "effect" is not psychological it's physiological.

I see what you're saying, but it is psychological in a way. You can force your brain to send the signals to the body making it warmer.
