Kit Haringtonis getting a bit of fresh air.
TheGame of Thronesactor was spotted out in Connecticut on Thursday near the wellness center where he is currently seeking treatment. Harington appeared relaxed as he walked solo through a shopping center.
Earlier this week, PEOPLE confirmed that Harington quietly decided toseek professional helpafter his nearly decade-long stint onGame of Thronescame to an end.
On Tuesday, Harington’s rep confirmed to PEOPLE that ahead of the May 19 finale, Harington, 32, 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.”

A source close toGame of Thronestold PEOPLE that Haringtonstruggled with his status as an A-list star.
“For 10 years, Kit was almost interchangeable with Jon Snow, and fully inhabited this intense character,” the source said. “The role and especially the level of fame he was thrust into was a lot for someone so young and just out of drama school.”
Harington, who is married toGoTcostar Rose Leslie, has been open about how heavily the last decade has weighed on him.
“It was formative years for everyone,” he recently told PEOPLE. “I started at 22 and ended at 32 and those are amazing formative years. If you’re Peter Dinklage, you started at 35. It defines that decade of your life, and that will probably the most bizarre decade of your life.”
He also struggled to adjust to life in the spotlight.
“It wasn’t a very good time in my life,” he toldVarietyin March. “I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, when actually, I felt very vulnerable. I had a shaky time in my life around there — like I think a lot of people do in their 20s.”

Harington said his lowest point came when Jon Snow became the focal point of the show, admitting he felt under extreme pressure.
And this isn’t the first time he’s sought therapy.
“That was a time when I started therapy, and started talking to people,” he said of the period between his character’s death and resurrection a season later. “I had felt very unsafe, and I wasn’t talking to anyone. I had to feel very grateful for what I have, but I felt incredibly concerned about whether I could even f—ing act.”
