I assume you are thinking of a sentence like "I massaged myself." with the reflexive pronoun "myself". In a sentence like this the subject and object are the same person, so by putting it into the passive, you make the object the subject. Except that the object is already the subject, so the passive form comes out "I was massaged by myself." It is almost the same.

Same thing with third person reflexives. "She poisoned herself" is "She was poisoned by herself" in the passive.
