I think our western focus on individuality (which has it's own merits in understanding life) is part of what has us categorizing and putting things into boxes.
But imo, yes, to understand this thing we call consciousness in a new way, we may have to step away from physicalism. Although they are integrated, it can help to study things while perceiving them individually, such as how many physicalists will study it as a purely mechanical set of things such as neurology or chemical reactions.
