I'd rather t didn't make promises she can't obviously keep.
I am not sure how promises differ if they are made to "inner child" or not. I am not sure what resistance you are referring to. With the exception of few times when t suggested something I wasn't going to do ( she eventually agreed it was unreasonable for me to do XYZ), I don't exhibit any resistance to anything. Did op ever say she is resistant? Or that she cannot be spoken to logically and rationally? I personally prefer people always speak logically and rationally to me rather than make crazy promises.
If op exhibited resistance to something, it still shouldn't mean t could make promises that are unprofessional and couldn't be kept.
