This is a fascinating topic, and I am glad to see I have so many outspoken allies on this subject. For years (and I mean YEARS), I struggled with the idea of trying to 'change my feelings' through changing my thoughts, and it wearied me and exhausted me; now I focus on processing feelings. For the record, I too am a "highly sensitive" person.
