When mothers and adult children want a new dynamic but keep reverting to old patterns

My mom and I are both trying to figure out how to have a relationship now that I'm an adult, but we keep falling back into old patterns where she gives advice I don't want and I get defensive, and neither of us knows how to break the cycle.
