It is a challenge to desensitize yourself because this is how you have been wired. It's possible that as you are exposed to more, you will develop a tolerance. If not, you may have to look to alternatives for such situations (relaxation, meditation, nutrional adjustments, etc.) I'm not sure this is classified as a 'gift'; however, there is a good chance that you may have the gift of mercy...as people who have the gift of mercy tend to be very empathetic.
