So the idea is that to start with you have to practice the skills practice the skills make a conscious effort to practice the skills...

There has been some talk of whether other patient populations would also find a benefit to the skills (even though the skills were developed with BPD in mind)...

Sounds like another way of saying 'emotional dysregulation' to me, but I guess that makes it clearer that it is in a RELATIONAL context that the emotional dysfunction typically occurs.

Yes, I practice. Even though it is hard, it does have its rewards.

I think people with many other labels of "mental illness" would be helped. I myself have had many labels!

Yes, emotional dysregulation. The authors of the book "A General Theory of Love" would agree with you. It sounds good to me too.
