Elspeth, a much shorter reply in the form of a few rhetorical questions:

“Why do we assume, when imagining a person focusing attention on what is occurring “in” the psyche, that it necessarily involves separation? Are the thoughts and feelings and perceptions associated with a specific individual necessarily “separate” from anything else? If EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in the universe “lives and moves and has its being in God,” wouldn’t that include thoughts, feelings, perceptions, etc?”
