Kit Harington Is 'Working On Some Personal Issues' At A Wellness Retreat

Right now that his watch has ended, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington is taking some time concentrate on himself.


According to Cosmopolitan, Harington has checked himself into a "wellness retreat" in a task to "work on some personalized issues," his rep explained in a statement to the publication.


Page Six, who originally announced Harington had checked into a "rehab center," noted that the actor has been at the facility since before the Game of Thrones finale ever aired, dealing with "stress" and "exhaustion." The center reportedly specializes in "psychological coaching, practicing thoughtful meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy to combat stress and deal with negative emotions."


Harington portrayed fan-favorite character Jon Snow throughout his eight-season run. Right after some particularly tough moments on-screen and off both due to shocking moments that unfolded in the final season of Game of Thrones and fans' reactions to it, it makes brilliant sense that he'd be dealing with some particularly intense stress.


Just recently, a clip from the HBO documentary Game of Thrones: The Last Watch revealed Harington in apparent emotional distress as he broke down while in the cast's final table read. Right now that the documentary has aired, we know a little bit more about his reaction from the trailer, and it's clear that this show has been more than an acting gig for him – it's become segment of him as well.


The actor has been quite open in the past about dealing with mental health issues, soon after telling Variety he previously sought out therapy while in his rise to fame as Snow.


"It wasn’t a very good time in my life. I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, once actually, I felt very weak Harington explained. "I had a shaky time in my life around there, like I think a lot of people do in their 20s. That was a time Whenever I began therapy, and began talking to people. I had felt very unsafe, and I wasn’t talking to anyone. I had to feel very grateful for what I have, yet I felt incredibly concerned about whether I may even fucking act."


In an interview with Esquire ahead of the series finale, he described "hyperventilating" while in the final moments of filming.


"My final day of shooting, I felt fine...I felt fine...I felt fine... Then I went to do my last shots and began hyperventilating a little recalled Harington. "Then they called 'wrap' and I just fucking broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again."


nevertheless the weirdest bit was as soon as we came off set and so they began taking the costume off plus it felt like being skinned... It felt like they were unceremoniously for the last time ripping off this character."


Hopefully Kit can work out some of the issues he's been dealing with and come out of this feeling recharged, renewed, and more like himself again. We're rooting for him to create a full recovery.
