...But now this is not about me.

Psychologist: I don't think it's something you just get over.

Man: No, but I don't see any reason to dwell on it. I doubt you'd find it particularly interesting to hear about, either.

Psychologist: No, but now it's not about me. / No, but now this is not about me. (It's about you.)

(The man has lost his brother but doesn't want to talk about it)


1) Is it OK that I've include "to hear about" or does it sound really awkward?

2) Is the psychologist's last line perfectly natural? And if so, would you say "now it's not about..." or "now this is not about..."?
