Hannah Murray, who played Gilly on Game of Thrones, recently opened up about the time she spent in a wellness cult. When speaking with The Guardian, she explained how she met an energy healer on the set of the 2017 drama, Detroit.
The healer introduced her to a series of classes meant to help her on her journey of self-healing. “My own experience felt highly eroticized, without anything explicitly physical happening,” she said. “There was just this charge to the energy in the room. I think there often is in these hierarchical spiritual organizations. I found it interesting that it was a primarily quite female space — the teachers, the healer — and then this man walks in, and he's incredibly confident and magnetic.”

She continued, "I hear so much, 'We need to talk more about mental health.' What they mean is, like, anxiety and depression. We're all happy to talk about that. But there's such a taboo around the idea of people who are sectioned. They are beyond the pale."
Murray is telling her story because she wants everyone to know that what happened to her could happen to anyone. “I was well educated, from a middle-class family; everything should have been fine,” the retired actress 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?'”
She continued, "It felt really important to say, 'I went through this.’ Lots of people go through this. That doesn't mean they are bad or f---ed up forever."
Murray, 36, is releasing her autobiography, The Make-Believe, on May 28. It goes into more detail about her experience.
As the book description on Amazon says, “As the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed.”
