The actor has been in a Connecticut health retreat for nearly a month, checking in before the
HBO drama’s recent finale.
“Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues,” read a statement released by his representative.
A “friend” of the actor added that the end of the decade-long show “really hit Kit hard” and his wife, fellow
GoT actress Rose Leslie, “is being extremely supportive.”

The Last Watch was also released Sunday that showed Harington crying in dismay when he first learned — spoilers for the series finale — that his character Jon Snow would kill the show’s female lead Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
The actor
also told Esquire in Aprilthat he broke down after shooting his final scenes as the character. “The final day of shooting, I felt fine . . . I felt fine . . . I felt fine. . . Then I went to do my last shots and started hyperventilating a bit. Then they called, “Wrap!” And I just f—ing broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again.”
