The thing is, mentalisation based treatment is centred around being supported to understand how others have different minds from you, are separate and have feelings that need considering, and also to consider your own feelings healthily. It's all a bit of a shake up inside, so completely understandable things would be messy at some stage in the treatment, these core things being so raw and painful at times.
My take on your situation would be for those involved in your care to properly assess where you're at in terms of the goals [and remember, the goals of gaining a more secure sense of self and of others as separate doesn't necessarily mean all self destructive behaviours are immediately fixed.] and take it from there. The thing they need to look at very clearly, I would say, is how your self harming links to your sense of self, if it does, and what is missing that you need additional support with.
