‘Game of Thrones’ Star Details Cult Ordeal and Psychotic Break

👤Hannah Murray says her search for healing after filming one of the darkest projects of her career eventually led her into a wellness group that spiraled into what she described as a devastating 🧠Mental health crisis.

According to Fox News, the actress best known for playing Gilly on “Game of Thrones,” opened up about the experience in a new interview with The Guardian while promoting her upcoming memoir, “The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness.”

Murray said the ordeal began after working on the 2017 film “Detroit,” which she described as emotionally exhausting because of its violent subject matter. Looking for support, she connected with an “energy healer” she called Grace.

The actress said she initially attended a $150 healing session before becoming more involved with classes connected to the unnamed organization.

“There’s not enough critical thought about wellness, particularly the way it’s been transformed into an industry,” Murray told the outlet. “It’s easy to go, ‘Well, that would never happen to me,’ but we do ourselves a disservice when we start saying that, because you don’t know.”

Murray said she once believed she was too smart to fall into something dangerous.

“I was well-educated, from a middle-class family; everything should have been fine,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m smart. I make good choices.’ Well, I made terrible choices. But it’s important to understand why people do these things, rather than going, ‘Oh, they must be idiots.’ Or, ‘How stupid could you be?’”
