This is what they talk about in object relations. I'm probably repeating myself here, but your paragraph here is such a perfect example. Eeyore is your family's image of you, but yes it has taken over half your brain (so to speak). It's the bad introject (I think I misspoke in a different post). When I started seeing my current t, I told him I wanted to be "more me" - like your second person. Quiet the voice of the bad introject - it isn't your own true voice, and your own voice will take over. Your t can help you quiet the voice.
