It comes from brain muscle conditioning acquired by trauma or stress. As with all training problems, it can be changed with right training, typically with no demand for some other interventions — but this kind of training is outside of the scope of dentistry (though within the scope of clinical somatic education).
The mouth muscles, like all of the the muscles of the body, are susceptible to command by conditioned postural reflexes, which affect chewing and biting moves.

The degree of tension people hold is a situation of conditioning.
