I am not sure how Americans practices vipassana, Wiki seems to imply that it is about observing anicca, anatta and dukkha, and from it, experience sunyata or understand the truth of reality.

If this is the case, I can understand why.

It is like everyone is carrying a baggage of emotional traumas. At best, this approach allows you to not put any new emotional traumas into the baggage. At worst, this makes you unaware of your baggage. You can only ignore your emotional traumas for so long before they come out to haunt you.

The way to handle this is to open the baggage, take these traumas out one at a time and deal with them.
