It's funny, because I've found that almost every time people are standing on top of their initiating incident, they say something like what you've said, or "But hmmm, I just can't imagine what my initiating incident is!" The initiating incident is what triggered your limiting belief.

It sounds to me like you are right there. Take a look: in that moment, your sister gets hurt, everyone thinks it's your fault, what did you decide about yourself? It will sound something like "I am ____." It's not "I will not harm anyone" because in fact, your belief includes the conviction that, indeed, someone will get hurt if you "let go." Your limiting belief is a positive statement about what you are. And you have exerted a lot of energy since then proving that you are not _____ and avoiding having people see that you are that. And the other beliefs you listed are like layers of the same onion. When you "hit" your belief, it will really land on you, and you'll see that those other beliefs are all tied up with it.

Take another look.

@MaxLight: Looking boldly at yourself with 100% responsibility is serious business, but that doesn't mean it's not fun.
