I went through this myself and it's such an awful feeling.

What I would suggest is discussing gifted over-excitabilities and be clear that the sensitivity is not a fault but rather a symptom of a gift. Make her proud of it. Then you frame the need to control her emotions as a strategic approach that will make her life easier, rather than "something she has to fix that is broken."
