Yes this pretty much. This is almost exactly what I did during the LD I had today, after reading similar advice on this forum, and it was very effective. I ran my hands across the walls while inside, and when I got outside I felt the grass and grabbed a handful of dirt - it was very real.

Also really important, is keep your cool from the get go, act like "you've been there before", almost casual/nonchalant. Then once things feel stable, you can let yourself go more.
