How do I relax my tongue and jaw frustrated

How do I relax my tongue and jaw? I'm beyond frustrated
My pain is not very great just annoying I'd put it at a 2 most the time. Except sometimes when I yawn.
I clench my teeth on my  tongue on the right side of my jaw.
I  think I started doing this when I was in physical therapy for my back, because they told me to tighten my core all the time, which makes my jaw tighten . I had also been 3 months in doing physical therapy with dry needling for my jaw, for trismus and pain, which was working great until I started doing this. I developed pain in the pterygoid muscle which was a complete new spot.
This was two years ago and I am noticing just now I don't make contact with my teeth but I guess I tighten my muscles on the right side of my jaw a lot. The left side hurts as well. When I move my ears up, sometimes it hurts the joint. They are much tighter through my temples and masseters on my right. I can eat pizza though pain as well as nachos most of the time
Thank you all

I am so sorry to hear of your problems with TMJ. As you know it can be very frustrating trying to get the right help.
You can look up oexercises for your pterygoid muscle that you can do on yourself intraorally but if your bite is starting to shift I would recommend you have a doctor take an MRI to take a look at your disc. Do your joints pop or make any noise or do you think it is purely muscle pain?
I miss eating nachos.
