Sophie Turner stated that her Game of Thrones experience might cause her to develop PTSD symptoms in the future.
"I'm confident I'll get trauma symptoms in the future. I don't think I could absorb much of the scene matter at that age. And for the first few years, I had my mother with me because she was escorting me, so she was extremely helpful and would provide me with snacks, "Sophie remarked.
After a busy start, Sophie is taking some time to be with her growing family. "When Game of Thrones finished, I started building a personal life and then eventually a taste for what I genuinely wanted to achieve in my profession," she explained. "I feel like I'm just getting started on my quest to becoming the person I probably should have been ten years ago."
