What Causes Tongue Blisters And Biting My Tongue Between My Lower Front Teeth?

Hi, I am 61 years old and for about 3 years, I have been rubbering my tongue between my lower front teeth. From time to time the tongue gets a blister. I have tried all sorts of things to stop this. I have chewed gum to keep my mind off the tongue, I have put Bonjela gel on the tongue etc. it gets worse when I get stressed, like travelling in a car. When I am doing gardening or any activity it does not happen. I am getting desperate and thinking I should go to an hypnotist. Will this work or are there any other treatments to get me to stop? Jan
