There is nothing quite like finding love after heartbreak, and that's something Christina Haack is realizing in her budding relationship with the Austin, Texas-based realtor Joshua Hall.

But moving on from a lengthy relationship and letting go of the trauma associated with it takes work. Everyone has their own ways of getting over someone. It's just that Haack's is a bit more unusual than most.

Rather than spending months trying to sort through the good, the bad, and the ugly, the Christina On The Coast star opted for something a bit more taboo: smoking psychedelic toad venom.

In her Instagram post, the 38-year-old mentioned smoking the venom of a Bufo toad prior to meeting Hall, which she claimed, "reset my brain and kicked out years of anxiety in 15 mins."

According to Addiction Center, The Bufo toad produces a venom that includes 5-MeO-DMT, a highly-potent natural psychedelic five times as powerful as its close cousin, DMT.

Thanks to the mind-clearing and anxiety-erasing qualities of Bufo toad venom, Haack said, "I wasn't in a state of fear or fight-or-flight" when she met Hall.

It also seems to have put her in a particularly receptive state of mind when it came to connecting with him: "The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore."

Haack also hinted at some early media mischief: "When I saw a camera behind us at the airport my heart started beating out of my chest and my hands shaking – And not for me but for him. I know they dig and dig and I didn’t ever want to see him stress over the media stalking him and his family."

But she has no intention of letting outside interference ruining her newfound happiness: "I may be a bit crazy and I'm definitely not perfect but I will never live my life based on other peoples judgments or opinions," Haack wrote.
