When parent-teen conflicts become stuck patterns

My teenage daughter and I have been in the same fight for months about her phone use and we're both exhausted but neither of us knows how to stop the cycle without feeling like we're giving up something important. Every conversation about it turns into the same argument and we're starting to avoid each other.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are trapped in a dynamic where both feel unheard and neither knows how to break the cycle without losing face.
