Kit Harington Sought Therapy After One Of Game of Thrones' Biggest Plot Twists

The ending of Game of Thrones is just around the corner, and the cast is dealing with it in their own unique ways.


With Kit Harington's recent revelation that he actually sought therapy soon after a particular plot twist in the massively popular series, we're wondering how he'll feel immediately following the show comes to a close.


The Game of Thrones actor discussed to Variety about the difficulties that came with appearing in one of the world's most well known shows, and becoming Jon Snow, noting that it "wasn't a very good time" in his life.


“I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, as soon as actually, I felt very susceptible. I had a shaky time in my life around there — like I think a lot of people do in their 20s," he mentioned. He noted that one of his lowest points was case in point any time Jon Snow began taking a more well known role in the show, which became the source of crippling depression for Harington.


“My darkest period was once the show seemed to be so much about Jon, once he died and came back,” he mentioned. “I really didn’t like the focus of the full show coming onto Jon — although it was invalidating my problem about being the susceptible link because things were about Jon.”


He tried to deal with these issues on his own for some time, however eventually ended up seeking therapy to help parse the anxiety and insecurities he had been facing about his role in the show and the quantity of fame that came with it. At one point, he felt "very unsafe," noting that we "wasn't talking to anyone."


if he notes that he felt grateful for his role, he felt "incredibly concerned" about whether he may even act or not. It seems even good actors like Kit Harington can fall victim to the frustrations that come as well as impostor syndrome, because we all know full well he can act — however believing that about yourself is a different story. Luckily, in the years that followed, with the help of therapy, he's been able to get to a higher end place.


“It’s like as soon as you’re at a party, and the party’s getting better and better.," Harington mentioned. "Then you reach this point of the party where you’re like, it’s peaked,” he mentioned. “I don’t know what I could find more from this. You realize, well, there isn’t more. This is it. And the ‘more’ that you could find is actually in the work rather than the enjoyment surrounding it."


It seems like the ending has brought Kit to a higher class of place, especially as he had a little bit of a joking feud with spouse Rose Leslie once he spoiled the series ending for her.


As for the rest of us? We don't have much longer wait to be able to see how it all concludes. The final season of Game of Thrones starts on April 14.
