I assume you may have already stumbled upon the information, but if not, the Black Psyche-Locks (first shown on Kristoph Gavin in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney) are subconscious locks created through either traumatic experience (like Edgeworth debatably and Athena Cykes) or through complete delusion like Kristoph Gavin. Evidence will not remove these locks, in fact pressing to break them forcibly will only damage the soul that is guarded by these locks. Trixie having these locks most likely stems from an inferiority complex of not being a very magically versed pony like Twilight, rather than just the Ursa Minor incident, and this being brought to her attention by Sonata most likely was what broke them, inevitably spurring Trixie to help Phoenix incidentally.
