I have a lot of trouble with this. I think my mute periods (which are overwhelmingly frequent) stem from a combination of what has been said here. I definitely do it when I don't want to cry, and I definitely do it when I'm not ready to "go deep," I guess.
Sometimes it's easier for me to talk about the worst parts of my abuse than it is to talk about things that were secondary to the abuse. I really struggle with stuff that would be considered tangential to the actual trauma, perhaps because I have less practice "going there."
