Fountain,
I am not a medium myself and therefore do not claim to be in direct contact with your guides about this question.
But my feelings and beliefs are as follows.
I also believe that your guides are able to temporarily rather than permanently suspend your psychic and medium development and turn down your sensitivity by several notches, if and/or when this is felt to be required or necessary for your health. Usually your guides have already started doing so, long before you even decided to pray to them to do it for you.
But there was certainly no harm in you praying, as your guides and Higher Self (the small spark of the light of God which exists within all of us) know much better than you or I what you are capable of handing at any particular moment, but can use the energy of your prayer to help them do their job to protect you and enhance your self healing, better and faster. Your prayers only made your guide's task that much more easier than if you had resisted them doing this in what they believed were your best interests.
The evidence as to whether or not this request has been carried out should be within a relatively short period of time reflected in your daily life.
Only if you feel that your prayers were not heard and you noticed that you are still being forced to fit in both your psychic development as well as at the same time having to cope with your other personal issues should you feel concerned and ask for the reason why you were not listened to.
Please let me know if you are still feeling as though your prayers went unanswered, but generally you are in more than capable and healing hands with your spirit guide or guides, without any further assistance from the physical side of the thin veil which exists between the two worlds.
You do not need to have or wait for your guide's permission to be able to go on with your self healing in the light of your current and obviously distressing personal issues. They are already close by your side working for and with you on your healing journey, and will continue to do all that is felt necessary to help and support you in your time of greatest personal need.
As difficult as it must be for you to believe at the moment, you will slowly but safely progressively overcome your present difficulties, with added help from both your guides as well as us and possibly professionals who are experts in particular areas which we are unfortunately not. I believe that a co-operative, united team effort by several professional as well as non professional people at the same time will be your ultimate solution.
Once your guides feel that you are beginning to finally get on top of these issues, your psychic development and sensitivity will be gradually restored, but this time you will be a stronger person within yourself as a direct result of having experienced a major victory over your personal issues, and therefore you should be far better prepared than compared to before to learn to deal with your abilities in a more balanced and sustainable manner.
Your psychic development is a vital part of what type of person you are becoming, and consequently cannot be permanently or indefinitely delayed without also simultaneously doing significant damage to your reason and purpose for once again clothing your spirit with a physical body, in order to be able to learn and function at this level.
In other words permanently turning your psychic abilities off even if it were possible which I seriously doubt that it is, could actually act against you or hold back or prevent your healing. If the guides managed to turn off your empathy for other people, you would also lose it for yourself as well, as an unavoidable consequence. At the very time when you most need to show a high degree of empathy with and compassion for yourself, it would be turned off.
Out of your empathy and compassion for yourself will ultimately develop true and increased self love and self respect. Without feeling greater empathy for yourself during the next six months, I do not like your chances of achieving any degree of healing which you could detect.
You cannot have one without also having the corresponding other member in the same pair. This is a world and Universe of duality. Everything in them exists as pairs of apparent opposites, which in reality are only two different aspects of the same thing or quality (including empathy for oneself, and empathy for or compassionate understanding of others).
Love, Light and Peace to you,
EoT
